If you had epic reflexes and motivation, which martial art would you study? Or, if you already study one, why did you choose it?
i curently study muay thai lao. i started last year. (year nad a half ago.) and im hooked! i highly recommend it to anybody who wants to try any martial art really. its called the art of the 8 limbs since you use your 2 hands, 2 elbows, 2 feet, and 2 knees. it also included pressure points, clinches, blocks, and over 500 different types of moves ps. ima warn you it is kind of a painful combat sport. whenever im in competitions you get SOOOO tired also.
I think I'd do Krav Maga. It's not really a combat sport, but more of a self-defence sport. A demonstration: [YOUTUBE]5hXjr_7bSdg[/YOUTUBE]
Have you seen the Thai movie "Ong Bak"? It's quite good, a little violent. Sambo is very interesting, I love how they can get out of any situation when pinned to the ground. It looks like a very useful martial art.
I want to Study "Systema" its what Russian Special Forces train in. Originated in Slavic Mountain fighting or something
I'm planning on asking my dad to teach me our national sport, 'Arnis' or stick fighting and its other variants which include knife fighting (practice knives in the form of balisongs or bolos), mano-e-mano (hand to hand combat), and nunchucko (or nunchucks). I have (informally) practiced however the style of 'espada y daga' (or sword and dagger), which is basically using the dagger (or spear hand if barehanded) as offense and the sword (or backhand if barehanded or anything longer than the dagger) as defense. In practice, you would usually train with a long stick and a short knife-sized stick, but I practiced (informally) with bare-hands.
I've always wanted to practice European swordfighting, you know, the proper thing. An interesting site is: http://www.thearma.org/ But here in NZ it's hard to get anything like this. I might have to come over to Italy one day!
European duelists are cool, sabres and all. I remember one dueling tradition that I was told of, wherein the two fighters are not allowed to move their legs and dodge their foes attacks. They are only allowed to parry and counter. The duel ends once one of them draws blood.
I do taekwondo and hapkido. Both are really great. Taekwondo for longer ranged kicks, and hapkido for close range street fighting.
you are always welcome,my friend! anyway, i study Karate atm and am Blue Belt. Hard stuff,you gotta literally ignore your body's pain.
